Sorry. However, I will be attending NEESCO. You simply have too many fabulous classes being offered. I don't want to miss any of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> (Just kidding about the class - I will teach - but I just know that I'll end up missing a pile of classes that I REALLY would love to attend!!!!)<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> AND, on the last page where my class description appears, Terry Farrell is still incorrectly identified as an RPT. Hey, if you can change it with the home office, that's fine with me (although I really don't want anything that I haven't earned), but if not, then I suspect we should make sure to remove that designation. Terry Farrell is an Associate PTG Member. I'm not trying to be a pain - it doesn't bother me one bit - but I also know this is the type of thing that somebody could pick up on and make an issue of. Thanks.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> It really looks like you've put together a heck of a convention Will.
